Grow The Show

• Online Audio and Video Media
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Operations and Enrollment Lead

  • Jun 2022 - Present

  I work directly with founder Kevin Chemidlin leading the Operations and Enrollment of our core product: the Grow The Show Accelerator. We have guided nearly 400 independent podcasters in realizing their audience growth and monetization goals, while grossing nearly $2M in product revenues in just two years of operations. The Accelerator program is designed for business owners with an already launched podcast that is positioned to drive traffic and revenues to their existing offer. With these qualifications in place, we guarantee our six-month implementation period of systems and methodology will work to grow your audience size and convert listeners to customers of your paid offer. If you have a business, and a podcast designed to support your business, then I would love to connect and explore how Grow The Show can serve you.

• Head of Operations

  • Jul 2022 - Feb 2023

  I became a listener of the Grow The Show Podcast while finalizing the sale of my prior business. The podcast was punchy, actionable, and full of information I hadn't come across before. Every episode, I was learning something new. I began to apply what I was learning to my own hobby podcast. In the summer of 2022, I found out that Grow The Show was hiring and decided to apply on a whim for an open role on the Sales Team. I was amped to be applying for a 100% remote position. I was amped to have the opportunity to dive into a new industry. I was super-amped that the industry was podcasting, something I was so interested in. I was hired to join the Sales team and within weeks moved into the Head of Operations role. My strongest work has been identifying departmental KPIs. I've implemented high-leverage daily reporting and tracking systems. My prior experience as a start-up COO has contributed towards key strategic decisions. 2023 benchmarks will include the migration of our community over to Circle.so in Q1. We will host several virtual conferences for our clients in Q2-Q4. We plan to show up in both Denver and Las Vegas for both Podcast Movement conferences. We will grow company profitability through systems integration. We work direct with Ravi Abuvala at Scaling With Systems to improve our internal systems. We work direct with Cole Gordon at Sales Team Accelerator to train our sales team. The company is positioned for a record year in 2023.

• Sales Representative

  • Jun 2022 - Jul 2022

  For one month, I worked on the Sales Team at Grow The Show as an Appointment Setter. My job was to interview and qualify podcasting candidates for the Grow The Show Accelerator program. If you are an independent podcasting entrepreneur interested in working with Grow The Show, I can connect you with a member of our Sales Team to learn more about how we operate and what we do.
